anzac biscuits


An Australian classic would have to be Anzac biscuits, named because they were sent overseas to our Anzacs in WWI. 
If memory serves me correctly they originated from a Scottish oat biscuit.
I usually only make them once a year around Anzac day. 
Each year I go in search of a recipe and then never remember the recipe I used the previous year and whether or not it was a good or bad recipe.
 This year I got my recipe from the NMAA red Cookbook and seeing as they turned out well I thought I would preserve it here. 
I doubled this recipe and also made part of the mix into a slice.


Anzacs
1 cup rolled oats
1/2 C SR flour
1/2 C plain flour
3/4 C coconut
3/4 C sugar (raw brown or white) - I used brown
1/2 t bi carb soda
2 T boiling water
125g melted butter
2 T golden syrup

Mix together first 5 ingredients. 
Dissolve soda in boiling water and add to melted butter and golden syrup. 
Add to dry ingredients and mix well.


Place teaspoonfuls on a greased tray (I put down baking paper).
Or press into a greased tray and cut into squares while still hot. 
Bake in a moderately slow oven 160C (325F) for 12-15 minutes.
Cool on tray for 5 minutes before putting on a cooling rack.


If you choose to do a slice you may like to drizzle or spread with melted chocolate.
